    Best Speed Loader for Glock Mags?

    I use a Makershot loader for my P365 magazines. It's easy to use, works well, and is 1/2 the cost of the Uplula. But my main reason for using the Makershot loader is that it is much smaller and it fits into my pistol and magazine lockboxes with minor modifications to the loader. The UpLula...

    Mixing it up for summer carry (P365)

    I had the curved trigger in my P365 and the straight trigger in my P365XL. I prefer the curved trigger, which also has more room inside the trigger guard to fit a gloved finger. I replaced the straight trigger in my P365XL with a curved trigger and sold the straight trigger. The action of the...

    Just venting a little bit and man I am not a fan of Lena Miculeck right now lol…ugh

    I don't think that it's a good idea to make firearms look like toys. Also, the point of a concealed carry pistol is to NOT be seen. So why bling it up? If I had a wife that wanted to spend an extra $250 just for the appearance of the pistol, I'd consider looking for a new wife.

    Mixing it up for summer carry (P365)

    For me, the shorter P365 grip is a method of last resort if there is no other way to reasonably carry. Normally I can carry my P365XL without problem. But when I need to pocket carry, the XL slide is too long. With my jeans I can get by with the taller XL grip module with the short slide...

    Striker Fired: What am I Missing?

    I'm not a trigger connoisseur, but when a trigger feels gritty or erratic, sump'n ain't right and it usually doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the cause. Case in point. The Sig P365 series has a reputation for gritty triggers right out of the box that smooth out a bit with use...

    Striker Fired: What am I Missing?

    The main reason that I carry a striker fired pistol, with a manual safety, with a trigger hinged at the top, and without a trigger dongle (inertial trigger safety) for self defense, is greater fault tolerance under adverse conditions. If you are not carrying the pistol for self defense, then...

    Speed Sights for Sig P365 Series & Other Autoloaders.

    The stock Sig P365 rear X-Ray sight can disappear under certain daylight conditions, such as being in the shade, or under filtered sunlight under a tree, while you are looking out onto a brightly sunlight target. This is very apparent in my apartment when I dry fire with the afternoon sun...

    Are Sights Really Necessary on a Concealed Carry Pistol?

    In most states it is the criminal that is responsible for any damage, injury, or death that occurs while law abiding citizens or police are stopping or arresting the criminal. So if I accidentally shoot an innocent bystander while trying to stop the criminal it's the criminal that is liable...

    Are Sights Really Necessary on a Concealed Carry Pistol?

    A retired armorer in my apartment building made the claim that sights really aren't necessary for concealed carry pistols. He claimed that the sights just slow you down. As I now have both a P365 and a P365XL, my P365 is now my backup pistol and my P365XL is my EDC. I had made a few...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    What you are doing is trying to mis-frame the question at hand and that is: "What is a normal height of a magazine release button on a semi-automatic pistol?" The question is NOT: "What is the normal height of a P365 magazine release button?" I don't have a P365-XMacro in my hands to measure...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    The problem is that the rest of me isn't extra large making it easier to carry a larger pistol concealed. I'm 5' 11" and my ideal weight would be around 190 lbs. (215 lbs. the moment). I must adapt to what is available. My arms are on the long side so getting off the shelf long sleeve shirts...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    I did not use any kind of strawman argument. You questioned my use of the term "more normal" and I showed you what normal is. The "normal" was already established before the class of micro-compacts even existed. The P365 magazine release button protrudes barely over 1/16" (0.046" at the rear...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    A micro-compact like a Sig P365 is NOT a normal pistol. A concealed carry pistol has special requirements that differ from a normal full size pistoll and compromises must be made to make it small and concealable. But not everyone wants or needs the same compromises. A P365, P365X, and P365XL all...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    The issue isn't a possible delay while swapping magazines. If you need to release your grip in order to rotate your pistol in order to actuate the magazine release it leaves you more vulnerable to dropping your pistol, whether you are in a scuffle, lost your balance, or whatever reason. People...

    I might’ve had a Kaboom today…

    I've seen a number of posts like this in various gun groups and as a result I measure the overall length of every cartridge and look for any anomalies before using the cartridges. Any cartridge that is substantially shorter or longer than the rest I weed out and I disassemble the cartridge. I...

    Can you reach the controls on your handgun without adjusting your grip?

    I can engage and disengage the stock size manual safety lever with my thumb without changing my grip. I believe that it is very important to be able to actuate the manual safety lever without changing my grip. I can actuate the slide catch without changing my grip with either the normal length...

    Cut down handles in autos - is there a reason?

    This pinching also happens when you use a P365 with the 12 rd magazine. The grip also feel squishy with the 12 rd magazine. This is one of the reasons that I installed the taller P365XL grip module on my P365. It prevented the pinching with the 12 rd magazine and the grip now feels solid. The...

    365 vs Hellcat.

    Might I add overpriced parts and overpriced magazines. But the P365 series fit my needs better than any others, so I paid the price.

    365 vs Hellcat.

    The P365XL version of their grip module is available now, with or without notches for the safety lever. https://wilsoncombat.com/accessories/parts-for-other-models/parts-for-sig-sauer/wcp365-grip-modules.html It's nice to have options.
